And not sure why you're saying that converting via Calibre is a hassle, it usually takes 60 seconds or so. All my books are computer books, with lot of graphics, SQL code, etc, and I've never had any problem converting from ePub to mobi of mobi to ePub....never...ever...
Calibre conversion takes some CPU resources so I would not blame your issue to the format itself but your machine's resources. It is a simple and easy process on modern PCs.

Yes, I'm not sure what this emphasis on conversion time is all about. Do we really need instant conversion anyway. Can't someone wait 3 or 4 minutes and surf the web for other things. And even if it takes a bit long or much longer, the computer is capable of doing most of it in my absence. The book will be their later and I'm sure most of us have at least one or two other books we could read in the interim.
I admit that I can handle the delay issue when I get a free B&N book and can read it LATER on my K3. And my netbook is definitely slower than my desktop pc.
